About
Fish are equipped with amazing adaptations. Using a "Fabulous Fish" costume, students will observe both physical and behavioral adaptations that enable fish to survive. Leave the teaching to us! Put your students in the hands of our expert Aquarium educators for exciting classroom lessons on conservation, adaptation, food webs, habitats, locomotion, and defense. Classroom programs are all correlated with the Colorado Model Content Standards.
Dining
Lunches: Please plan to keep lunches outside. Food may be enjoyed in the grass next to the Aquarium, or in the case of poor weather, extremely limited space may be available. Plan to dress warmly and eat outdoors on all occasions.
Restaurant Reservations: If you are interested in dining with us during your visit, you can make a reservation and the Aquarium Restaurant.
